"Existential Threat" explained.

There is no one too educated and experienced not to be corrupted. Funny thing, when the color of money and the glitter of power get close to the hands, the mind and heart fall to greed like rain. This is true at all strata of human interaction. Those that lead walk a long way in front of those that follow giving them a distinct advantage. But if they lose sight of followers they may find those followers went a different way. That's what happened in 2016 when Trump who already had more wealth than he'll ever need said follow me; there's a better way for you to go; the way that made us great. What they are doing is too little too late-they underestimated their followers.
Well you could start with distinguishing the words existential from existentialism. that is not everything that may be existential to any "thing" or "person" is related to the philosophy of existentialism.

A dictionary is a good place to start.
 
We’ve been hearing a lot about “existential” threats lately so we might want to think about what an existential threat is. The word seems to come from “existentialism” which is a philosophy that gained traction in the mid 1940’s largely though the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, a brilliant, neurotic, French playwright and communist admirer.

Existentialism is based on the precept that a thinking individual can never know what is truly right or truly wrong because existence is too complex to encompass a complete understanding of the physical or metaphysical world. The angst involved is apparently perplexing, so individuals struggle to find a path that they alone are responsible to follow.

People who sit around with too much time on their hands are generally regarded as philosophers and their idle thinking is often adopted and discussed ad nauseum by others who think a lot with too much time on their hands. Though Sartre never advocated for forcing his existential philosophy on the masses, others were all too willing to misuse existential thinking to bolster new movements. Karl Marx was one of those people and so was Adolf Hitler who, like Sartre, spent extended amounts of time locked up and probably should have remained that way.

Taken to the next step, philosophy becomes righteous thinking or weaponized philosophy defined as religion or political ideology and in contemporary society those lines are blurred. When something is described as an “existential threat”, it conveys a fearful warning that followers of a movement may be lost and the movement itself may perish under the light of reexamination.

This is what is happening today in the US with a presidential impeachment. The notion that a nation can only be led by highly educated intellectuals endowed with a special wokeness is being torn asunder by a populist messenger proving through direct concrete action that the notion is a fraud.

At a time when destructive political winds have been blowing the US middle class into a timid globalist sellout, the president has revived the “Big Stick” foreign policy of Teddy Roosevelt and its working. The existential threat is not to the constitution or the people it’s to a parasitic status quo that thinks we are too dumb to fathom a four-syllable-word like Existential.

Impeachment is a political assassination not to save us but to save themselves. If there’s an existential threat its them not the president.


when you call decent Americans "traitors!", "human scum", "nazis" and an "existential-threat" simply for not agreeing with or accepting your extreme right wing views you are THREATENING them with PUNISHMENTS and VIOLENCE! Because isn't that how you treat TRAITORS and an EXISTENTIAL THREAT?

with punishment?
with violence?
with elimination?

Of course.

You, therefore, BECOME the TRAITOR to the millions of decent Americans you threaten simply because they disagree with you.

YOU BECOME the EXISTENTIAL THREAT!
 
And when you want to be lied to, you ask a professional politician.
While all politicians lie, I don't blame them, I blame us. We don't want to hear the truth. We want a single, simple, bumper-sticker-sized solution to every complex problem. We get what we deserve, not what we want.
I do blame us. We get the government we deserve.

However, I just happen to have a fundamental disagreement with the notion that only the educated can or should be running the government. There are millions of people who have no formal education, yet can run circles around the 'elite' with just native intelligence and integrity. Today, the educated are not so much educated as they are indoctrinated (at least in terms of political philosophy). So, it isn't a matter of anti-intellectualism as it is the fact that the 'educated elite' have proven themselves to be base and untrustworthy.
I'm not sure what you mean by "educated" or "formal education." Truman had post-HS training as a bookkeeper. Eisenhower of course was a West Point grad. Reagan was public school kid and avg student at Eureka College. W had a world class prep and Ivy League pedigree, but it was wasted (pun) on him.

But HS civics, as it used to be, and how a bill becomes a law, and how to read bills and financial documents …… I mean there's no degree in "president." I don't think a Teamster or Electrician really has the skills … unless they move into management or something beyond what those kinds of professions entail. Not to disparage them. I wouldn't want Obama or Trump to wire my house.

I hate to break it to you kiddo, but existential threats don't have anything to do with existentialism. You are badly confused.
Well Crep, Ray gave us a excellent explanation of "existential threats" now you come here and say he is wrong without explaining why? Crep you are nothing but a troll
He's wrong. Look it up. An existential threat is a threat to your existance, nothing to do with existentialism.

It's just that simple.

Criminals do what criminals do. Trump is being held to account for his illegal activities. If he hadnt done it we wouldnt be here.
Come on TT, shake yourself. There's no crime here. And if this attempt falls through there will be another fabricated travesty to take it's place, just like they did with the Russia thing. The truth is, Democrats will hold onto their impeachment dream till the bitter end. If justice is finally served, and that is
what we want, they'll need plenty of jail cells for Comey, Brennen, Strzok, Page. Clapper, McCabe, Rosenstein andthe other deep state POSs.

True, but Ray's op is that it's somehow connected to Sartre and the existentialist school. I admit I find that view more supportable than an all knowing and humanity loving supreme being who sent his "son" down to be tortured to death to absolve us of original sin. I suspect some of the Founders might have agreed, had existentialism been around then. LOL
 
Too many people throw the term "existential threat" to the US around way too frequently, and these are the people that want to cut the DOD budget and give $billions to terrorist supporting states like Iran. Calling Trump an "existential threat" most likely means to "the establishment" drones bought and paid for by K-Street PACs, and/or the Wall Street hacks that want to move another 66,000 US factories to China.
and end blue collar jobs for climate change. Creepy, sleepy said so last night on the debate. ouch!!!! hurry folks, everyone should back old creepy, sleepy because he wants you unemployed and begging him for money. And Ukraine and China gave him plenty of money. Now that's extortion baby

Why would you say they don't have the skills? Because their training is in something else? Leadership, native intelligence (common sense), integrity, and a willingness to be open-minded are far more qualifying skills and traits than any number of degrees provided by a University.

As I have said, the ruling class have proved themselves to be utterly untrustworthy, and to a person, they are all 'educated'.

I have no problem with a educated, professional bureaucracy. Like the generals in the army they know how to fight a war (or execute a program). What they shouldn't do, and what they don't do, is decide when and who to fight. That is what presidents and congressmen are for.

Yes, but we weren't talking about the Military. They train and study war so they should be very good at it. I have no problem with that, just like you. I also agree that they must always be subservient to the Civilian leadership of the country.

However, I do have problems with the class of people who are running our government right now.

Criminals do what criminals do. Trump is being held to account for his illegal activities. If he hadnt done it we wouldnt be here.
Come on TT, shake yourself. There's no crime here. And if this attempt falls through there will be another fabricated travesty to take it's place, just like they did with the Russia thing. The truth is, Democrats will hold onto their impeachment dream till the bitter end. If justice is finally served, and that is
what we want, they'll need plenty of jail cells for Comey, Brennen, Strzok, Page. Clapper, McCabe, Rosenstein andthe other deep state POSs.
There is definitely a crime here. You know it and I know it. If you give him a pass on this then the next crooked democrat will do the same. In fact it gives a pass to crooked politicians at all levels to do so.
 
We’ve been hearing a lot about “existential” threats lately so we might want to think about what an existential threat is. The word seems to come from “existentialism” which is a philosophy that gained traction in the mid 1940’s largely though the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, a brilliant, neurotic, French playwright and communist admirer.

Existentialism is based on the precept that a thinking individual can never know what is truly right or truly wrong because existence is too complex to encompass a complete understanding of the physical or metaphysical world. The angst involved is apparently perplexing, so individuals struggle to find a path that they alone are responsible to follow.

People who sit around with too much time on their hands are generally regarded as philosophers and their idle thinking is often adopted and discussed ad nauseum by others who think a lot with too much time on their hands. Though Sartre never advocated for forcing his existential philosophy on the masses, others were all too willing to misuse existential thinking to bolster new movements. Karl Marx was one of those people and so was Adolf Hitler who, like Sartre, spent extended amounts of time locked up and probably should have remained that way.

Taken to the next step, philosophy becomes righteous thinking or weaponized philosophy defined as religion or political ideology and in contemporary society those lines are blurred. When something is described as an “existential threat”, it conveys a fearful warning that followers of a movement may be lost and the movement itself may perish under the light of reexamination.

This is what is happening today in the US with a presidential impeachment. The notion that a nation can only be led by highly educated intellectuals endowed with a special wokeness is being torn asunder by a populist messenger proving through direct concrete action that the notion is a fraud.

At a time when destructive political winds have been blowing the US middle class into a timid globalist sellout, the president has revived the “Big Stick” foreign policy of Teddy Roosevelt and its working. The existential threat is not to the constitution or the people it’s to a parasitic status quo that thinks we are too dumb to fathom a four-syllable-word like Existential.

What is the crime, since you know it?

Swamp Queen Peliser is blackmailing the country, that’s a crime and an abuse of power

Take your pick. Misuse of public funds and various crimes linked to that. You cant use public money to your own benefit in any democracy, only in a dictatorship. You know that but your corrupt soul cant admiit it.
